This is a thread to see what type of hilarious casual or serious game you have played. Please post games that have funny stories behind them.

Here is one of mine. I lost by timeout as soon as I clicked pass. I find it funny because in this game white (me) whins by 17.5 points.

Probably the funniest game I've played in the past few months was against killeryee[5d]. Things go pretty decently until I forget the hidden problems behind move 34 and tenuki. I end up living, only to realize later that the group wasn't really alive due to L8, only to end up living anyways :D - a culmination of big mistakes on both sides.

Anyways, I then make another mistake with 79, giving up the 5 stones when W plays 80. Initially it was my intention that giving up those 5 stones was fine and dandy since it was just 5, but later I realized that the cost was just a bit too heavy so I decided to change my mind and try to rescue it. Somehow though I end up not only saving it, but killing one of White's groups that pegged my mine....sort of.

However, thanks to many more mistakes it becomes a ko in a semeai rather than a clean kill. During the ko fight, I make the glaring mistake of 233 ( :bc: in diagram), thinking "Ha ha! There can be absolutely no way White can find a ko threat on this group now!", only to realize that this was not the case at all when White plays M10. I end up giving up 15 stones unnecessarily to land the final blow on White's dragon on the right, but still have a bit of a lead...

...Only to make yet again another mistake (I counted, it's mistake #818.) and play :b1: instead of reinforcing the bottom left corner. Near the end, White ends up making a big comeback despite the top left disaster and is holding a 0.5 lead...

Last Saturday I had a triple ko against a EGF 3d.
It could not be resolved by sacrificing the group(s) involved. It was only the second time I had this in a real game.

Here is a picture of the position. (I played black)

Here is a close up of the groups involved.

Sorry for the image quality it's a quick snapshot with my phone.

Woah, a 134-point triple-ko at that! That must have been an intense fight.

Edit: I mean an intense fight leading up to the triple ko.

That would have been so intense I probably would of died under the pressure.
